We’re proud of businesses across the county who have risen to the challenges of 2020. They’ve pivoted their products and services, supported their local communities, and managed the juggle of work and home life.

Online shopping has been a lifeline to many this year, but our local businesses are ready to help you make this December special. From the perfect Christmas gift, to a thank you present for someone who has supported you this year, or even a treat for yourself (you deserve it after all), there is a Gloucestershire business who can help. And in supporting them you’re helping their teams, their families and the recovery of our county.

Each day in December we’ll be shining a light on Gloucestershire businesses. If you’re looking for artisan food and drink for an end of year celebration, a handmade gift with a difference, or something special to put under the tree, then make sure you follow and share our #GroHoHo stories on our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn profiles.

As GFirst LEP have said, adding a bit of Glos to your Christmas could make all the difference this festive season.

As each business is shared, we'll include links to them here so you can follow through December.
